+The user interface has been redesigned, but doesn't use ribbon -- was that to preserve the mac-like interface? Eric Wilfrid Product Unit Manager for Mac Business Unit The elsements gallery in the heart of the new UI. It helps serface features and it's a great way for us to present some new mac-only features. Elements gallery fits in with older 2004 formats, we still have the formatting pallettes Can you describe elements gallery? it's like a taskbar... does that replace some of the functionality that is in the pallets on office 2004? Is it still mac like? The new "mac only" features seem heavily geared toward more layout and graphic design tasks is that a response to iWork (which is less a word processor and more of a page layout program)? There's need there to let mac users create stunning documents customers who want to get going quickly are going to find the new How does microsoft see Office for Mac fitting in with apple's iWork suite? We love competition it's get for the market. One big difference between iWork and Office 2008 is compatibility, we natively support the same file formats as Windows users and our customers are looking for that cross platform support. iWork is a good sulotion for customer who need a limited set of functionality but office goes quite bit beyond,. I haven't seen any pricing announcements... Can you explain the reasoning behind My Day? Does it integrate with address book or iCal? The ledger sheets are excel templates...? Can you outline any specific enhancements to Entourage? there's system wide short cut to launch My Days control space... you can do simple manipulations, prioritize tasks amd more with out distracting yourself from what you're working on. Leopard reportedly features OOXML compatibility, why is it taking so long to get the converters into MS's own products? Which versions of Office for Mac will have converters? 2004? v.X? beta 2004. We are also doing converts for office v.X and Office apps are increasingly moving toward online collaboration and storage... does the new Office 2008 have any sharing features? Does the Mac BU have any plans to add such features in the future? alani.kalfaya@edelman.com tammy.hovey@edelman.com 206-223-1606 jason michael@edelman 206-268-2287 \ No newline at end of file
